Ebnet PIVC

Ebnet Medical - Ebnet PIVC
Prototype (not for patient use)

Designed for safe and accurate access to blood vessels for 1st puncture success and reduced complications in the future.

Controlled catheter advancement with needle held in stable position for very precise catheter placement.

Needle tip covered by catheter after vein entry for prevention of potential vein wall injuries.

Click mechanism for optimal visual, tactile and acoustic control for correct catheter application.

Control and protection box enabling stable one-handed operation to avoid multiple touches at punction site for infection prophylaxis.

Slot on catheter hub allows increased catheter mobility preventing the catheter from kinking and enabling uninterrupted flow of life-saving medication.

Ultrasound can be used consistently with free second hand for optimal ultrasound-guided punctures.

Improved fixation wings for optimal fixation on the skin and longer application time.

Can be combined with Ebnet Medical fixation components, designed for reliable fixation of catheters to the skin.

(Under development. Not yet available on the market. Not yet for patient use. A positive correlation between technical features and beneficial outcomes has to be proven in studies.)

SwordCath®

Designed for safe and accurate multi-lumen high-flow access to larger blood vessels without assistance or guidewire for 1st  puncture success and reduced complications in the future. 

Further development of well-known Seldinger Guidewire Technique: Designed without guidewire for safe handling even in the most challenging environments and extremely time-critical situations, e.g. massive hemorrhage in the field.   

Combines all essential components without having to put them together for low procedural complexity, significant costs savings and less waste in the future.  

Straightforward handling for maximum control in situations where classical Seldinger Technique could be beneficial but is rarely used due to high complexity and limited space, e.g. in helicopter missions.  

Compact design with catheter protection sleeve without free catheter outside the body for optimal catheter handling and infection prophylaxis.

Developed for future extension of treatment options in emergency and tactical medicine as well as in clinical settings, e.g. acute dialysis.  

Can be combined with Ebnet Medical fixation components, designed for reliable fixation of catheters to the skin.
